Guys, I just cleared a room last night. I made dinner for a few of my artsy friends who were asking what I'm up to these days. They were fully expecting me to talk about my lastest paintings or something, knowing full well I don't talk about that stuff. When I got all animated about IM, something I can talk about, I think they wanted to send me to rehab. They........on my parade. They got sort've intervention-like. You'd think I was a traitor or something. Shocking! Well, looks like IM is one thing I can't share with my friends. Too bad. Dinner was good anyway.

Disappointing, but I don't really care. Thoroughly enjoying getting out of my comfort zone and learning something new. Yes, I feel I am accomplishing something significant at WA, and will apply my new knowledge in a special way. Have already begun. Man, I'm having fun! Think it's important to expand your awareness of things so that you don't become complacent and boring. That's just my take on life. Thanks to all of you once again for the help. J.
